The Ship Starting

Title:     The Ship Starting
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Lo, the unbounded sea,

On its breast a ship starting, spreading all sails, carrying even her moonsails.

The pennant is flying aloft as she speeds she speeds so stately--below emulous waves press forward,

They surround the ship with shining curving motions and foam.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Ship Starting
